介绍20世纪伟大经济学家詹姆斯·米德，他因国际经济学研究获1977年诺贝尔奖。文章基于英格兰银行举办的百年纪念会议，涵盖米德涉足的广泛经济学领域，包括宏观与微观经济学的理论与应用。
James Meade was one of the great economists of the twentieth century; he was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1977 for his work on international economics. James was born in 1907 and died in 1995, and to mark the centenary of his birth the Bank of England hosted a memorial conference, financed by the ESRC. A number of the papers presented at that conference appear in this Feature. The contributors were asked to write papers on contemporary topics – this was not a history‐of‐economic‐thought conference – but these topics were chosen in areas in which James had worked himself. James's work covered a very wide range. As the study of economics has developed, academic economists have become more and more specialised, as microeconomists, or macroeconomists, or as econometricians. James, by contrast, was simply an economist; he produced both applied and theoretical work, across a wide range of both macroeconomic and microeconomic topics. The very extensive range of James's work explains the wide range of subject matter of the articles which follow.
